AIRFORCE ONE™ CHIP 802.11 REFERENCE DESIGN
KEY FEATURES
POWER MANAGEMENT
• Industry's smallest IEEE 802.11b/g solution makes wireless
LAN connectivity practical for pocket-sized electronic devices.
• Extreme integration includes radio, baseband, MAC, and all
other radio frequency (RF) components found on a typical
wireless LAN board—making small mobile devices easier, less
expensive and faster to manufacture.
• Innovative power management reduces power consumption by
up to 97% in standby mode, providing greatly extended battery
life for mobile devices.
• Cost-effective architecture with single-sided, all-CMOS design
eliminates over 100 components, providing more affordable
wireless connectivity for consumer electronics.
• High-performance features standard across the AirForce
product line:
• OneDriver™
• SmartRadio™
• WPA, WPA2
• Cisco^® Compatible Extensions (CCX)
• AES in hardware
• WMM for advanced Quality of Service
• Xpress™ technology
• 125 High Speed Mode™
• Reference designs include Secure Digital I/O, MiniPCI,
CardBus, and Compact Flash.
• Innovative power management techniques improve battery
life by creating deep sleep state when device is in stand-by
mode.
• Designed for low CPU utilization to ensure CPU resources are
available for handheld applications.
